amberley snyder - utah
Amberley Snyder was born in January of 1991 in southern California. Amberley and her
five siblings lived there during her dad’s Major League Baseball career with the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
At the age of three, Amberley began riding lessons and developed an unyielding passion
for horses. After her dad’s retirement from baseball, the family moved to Utah. Amberley
was seven years old and would only comply if she was promised a barrel racing horse
when she got there, she got her wish, and that was the beginning of Amberley’s rodeo
career.
Through all the challenges and adversity Amberley has had to face, it hasn’t stopped her
from achieving any of her goals. In May of 2015 Amberley graduated college with a
Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Education. In 2018, she earned her Master’s Degree in
School Counseling from Utah State University. Amberley’s hard work ethic hasn’t
wavered, and one could argue has even gotten stronger. After the accident Amberley
realized she had a unique opportunity to reach out and inspire people with her
unconventional situation. Her first step to that was her Wheel Chair Wednesday’s video
segments on social media. She would perform everyday tasks that have now become
more challenging, but not impossible, after her accident. These range from how she gets
on her horse to how she fills her truck up with fuel and her short videos have become a
popular fan favorite on social media resulting in nearly 200K fans on Facebook.
Amberley now is inspiring thousands across America by telling her inspirational story and competing in rodeos across
the western United States. She has let the challenges she faces refine her, not define her.
